Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Not sure if it's really a score (since it's kicking my butt) but I scored an old Star TSP100 thermal printer (80mm) for $6. Had most of a roll of paper in it too. 10/100 LAN plus the usual RJ11 cash...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
(Per a private chat with Topcat; this is for anybody else reading)
Windows doesn't support mixed UEFI's... which is why they're "x64" with an asterisk. Early "x64" Macbooks had this same issue...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Those are ASUS transformers. I have one of the T200 varieties... very nifty for the era. If they're 10" T100's, not as useful (x32 bootloader, so cannot run x64 windows)... but if 12" T200's (which...

Scored a USB 3.0 to SATA adapter for $0.20 (roughly). Needed one at work (but due to politics and crap couldn't spend money one onw), lucky find.
Also scored a HP Laserjet Color CP1025nw for...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Unexpected score:
$10- Pioneer FH-X70BT 2 Din Head unit. Works great. Nice upgrade to the "technically nicer" 1 Din JVC that was in my wife's van... that one had no working FM, but I think that...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
My church has a similar one in the AV booth (Sony DV pro grade video camera)... but the DV head is wiped out (couldn't record to tape). Still usable though via a long firewire cable and an old...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
From yesterday:
- 5x Toner and 2x drums for my Brother HL-2270DW ($5 per, $35 for all). 3rd party... but at the price I don't care. Doubt I'll ever need toner or drums for it ever again; it's my...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Ended up using it to retire a less than useful Laserjet 4L (which I was using with a Jetdirect 500x)... Dimensionally it's close enough to the 4L that it happens to fit on the bottom of my garage...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Yep. Other than being slow and only having 150 pages, nothing wrong with it. Full toners, heck the tray was half full of paper :wtf:
Worst part is if it's at the outlet, that means a regular...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Scored a cartload of stuff at Goodwill Outlet for $21... Which included a HP Laserjet Pro CP1525nw Color. Works great and had 4 full 3rd part toner cartridges.
As soon as I give one away another...

Tore town my Lenovo T440s to see if I could find a compatible 3.5mm headphone jack... No dice. Very common failure from what I've seen online.

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
My last laptop to use unifying was the E6430... my last one with mini-PCIe slots that could be adapted to internal USB dongles. Such an adapter doesn't exist for m.2 AFAIK so my thinkpads have all...

Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
Scored a Logitech Performance MX mouse for $0.99. Paired it to a spare unifying reciever I had sitting, works great... but the jury's out on the battery (rechargable AA NiMH, easy to replace).

Re: Why does my truck have a microphone in it?
Looks like a really crappy dealer-installed "security" device. Idea being that interfaces with the ignition switch wiring and you have to have the black plug installed for it to start. But, these...
